Episode 315: Religion, the Reformation and French colonization of the Americas
Update: 2025-08-26
Description
We discuss the religious strife that dominated 16th Century Europe as well as France's pragmatic diplomatic and foreign policy of the era- despite being a Kingdom dominated by the Catholic Church hierarchy, tension with Spain often led to pragmatism and alliances with Protestants and Muslims on the continent.
This world view also contributed to France's colonial policies in the New World setting up its interest in Florida.
